Leave it burning, then turn off the large tank valve,. When the flame goes out fully, then close the stove valve . This eliminates gas left in the lines.

My Grandfather had a very isolated cabin in Idaho. He cooked on a propane stove set up, just like this for many, many years! Even had an oven to bake pies, cakes, bread in, etc. If it's set up right, and you take reasonable precautions, it's perfectly SAFE.

[@64MAGA24]

Ohhh was this ever helpful. My late husband did all these types of things and I’m having to learn while maintaining a healthy or neurotic, depending on who you ask, attitude about safety. I remember the first time I used propane in my Van Conversion. I was spraying the hose on my stove every 5 minutes..and worse. But I would rather b safe than sorry. I have the 20 lb and the 5 lb and I couldn’t find anything until your video about this topic and how to convert. My concern was if the bigger tank would have to much pressure. So happy to hear I can easily convert while staying safe. Thanks again for very useful video.

Near the end of cooking, our local-owned family-operated propane shop says to shut 'OFF' the valve on the twenty-pound bottle, allowing the stove to sputter-out while using the propane in the hose. . Apparently, the odorant in propane can soften the hose lining, contributing to premature failure.

It depends on the appliance you're hooking it up to. That smaller hose I first attached to stove regulates the pressure so no added regulator is needed on this stove. Even if you dial down knob on stove it doesn't go down? Itll be somewhat loud on high, mine is that's normal

I need help. I have two camp stoves they both work. My 5 gallon propane tank is half full maybe a little less. Bought a new line to run from the tank to the stove no leaks neither one of the stoves stays lit. What could be the problem?

[@JonnyDIY]

Theres not an extra regulator on the hose going to tank? Sometimes that will restrict it. If not I'd say try another hose. Some I've heard don't screw on deep enough to engage to let the gas in through the regulator hose on the stove.

[@largemarge1603]

@chari, Take all the components to your local-owned family-operated propane shop.

[@KarenFischer1]

I did not know that i should connect the larger propane tank to the stiff line. When connected, and i turn the stove on, it seems like it has one setting...really high. If i connect it to the stiff line first will that solve the problem? btw, my propane camp stove stiff line doesn't have an on/off switch.

[@JonnyDIY]

You should always hook the large tank up to the stiff line that has the control valve on it 👍

[@largemarge1603]

@Kare, On later model camp-stoves, the steel tube screws into the side of the stove. The 'knob' on the steel line is the pressure regulator. . Without a regulator at the stove or at the twenty-pound five-gallon propane bottle, you get the entire pressure of the bottle. As you might imagine, a full bottle with five gallons has more pressure than a nearly-empty bottle with only a pound remaining. Thus, the need for a regulator for an even flow.

[@lam9198]

I have a bit of an unrelated question, but I can’t find a video that addresses flame color. I saw when you turned your stove on that there was a decent amount of yellow in the flame… I’ve read the flame should be pure blue with no yellow/orange/red. Is this true, or is some yellow okay?

[@JonnyDIY]

Some yellow ok, but once it warms up and you turn it up on high the flame should be blue purple 👍

[@terrytillstrum1712]

So using the hose directly doesn’t require a regulator? Can I get a hose with a regulator?

[@JonnyDIY]

No regulator needed since we're hooking the hose up to the factory hose or piping of the stove that already has a regulator built in to it. So no need or worry 👍

[@rmpeez]

I have that same stove but no hose cause it was given to me… do you know how I can modify my stove to use the new propane adapter?

[@chimneyrock123]

1. No filter needed on the hose? 2. No pressure regulator needed either correct?

@@chimneyrock123 no pressure regulator needed, your stove should have one built in and you can add an in line filter as the hoses can degrade and cause issues, but I havent had an issue without one for what it's worth 👍

“Everybody does this” is neither true nor a sign of intelligence. In fact suggesting anyone to just refill these little green bottles with larger ones is not only dangerous but also unnecessary.

@@JonnyDIY thanks for reply what size is the piece that screws into the big bottle UK bottle that I have got is 5 8th left hand thread many thanks Alan UK keep those great vids coming 😎👍❤️

[@largemarge1603]

@al, Good point. Different regions use different bottles with different fittings. . 2003 in our ExpeditionVehicle, we did South America, twenty-four months twenty-four thousand miles. Had a Dickens of a time getting propane. . These days, we carry several full spare five-gallon twenty-pounder propane bottles.

[@thehonksterkadunedalickyda7036]

You can refill the 1 pound

[@JonnyDIY]

Well yes and no. You can refill them, but they're not rated or legal to refill. I think there's only 1 company that's sells refillable 1 lb tanks, Flame King.

[@asilshamsy2792]

Where do I get the converter from?

[@JonnyDIY]

Theres a link in the video description to one of the conversion hoses. May also be able to source locally depending.

[@mikeyork1462]

When I hook mine up to the 20lb I get minimal gas flow and low flame….much less than with a 1lb. Tried on two different tanks. Any hints?

[@JonnyDIY]

Sometimes the conversion hose when you screw it on doesn't engage the valve all the way. I've heard others complain in the hose reviews of this problem before. May need to try a different hose setup

[@medic501]

I had this problem with a Coleman two burner stove, trying to connect to a 15 lb tank - no gas flow to the burners. A pipe wrench and a bit of gorilla on the fitting where the bottle usually attaches let the pin depress the valve enough to open, allowing gas to flow, burner to light, coffee water to boil, etc! The same hose worked fine with hand tightening to a Little Buddy heater, so it must be how the different connections are machined...

[@largemarge1603]

@mikey, Does your five-gallon twenty-pounder propane bottle have a regulator? Does your camp-stove have a regulator? The two would indeed create significant restrictions.

[@OWK000]

silicone grease is best for little rubber gaskets

[@JonnyDIY]

Thank you, will try that next time I use it 👍

[@rmcbeth123]

Strange, I see that you connected with a regulator in-line, but all the comments say you don't need to use a regulator??? I am confused

[@JonnyDIY]

You need to use the regulator that comes with your camping stove. The hose or stiff line with the knob like I showed. In the comments people were referring to an additional regulator like the circular silver ones used with propane barbeques 👍

[@zamfully]

Good job

[@JonnyDIY]

@@zamfully thank you! 🙌👍

[@millerc364]

Don’t you need to use a regulator as well?

[@JonnyDIY]

The stove has built in regulator on the hose or hard pipe you attach to it

Cool stuff! Question for you if you know. I got a stove just like this from the father in law who scraps metal/hoards junk. It has the flexible line, but is missing the little wire stand for the bottle. Do you know if it's necessary or if the stiff line that the new ones use would work on it?

[@JonnyDIY]

You could easily make a lil stand out of a stiff coat hanger to keep the tank upright. I believe they just dont want you to use the propane on it's side. And yes I think the newer stiff valve line will work, although they're not made as well

[@douglascassetty6553]

Very well done.

The one pound tanks are refillable. It is not illegal to refill them, but it is illegal to transport them.

[@JonnyDIY]

Ohh ok I was under the impression it was illegal to do either, but I guess state to state will be different

[@nole8923]

So if you can’t transport them how do you get from the hardware store to your house?

[@JonnyDIY]

@@nole8923 it's illegal to transport refilled 1lb 1 time use propane bottles

[@Sr_iRL]

So they are refillable but they’re one time use?

[@italianozuzu1232]

I don't think the cops gives a shit about you transporting 1 pound propane .. and yea refill them it's easy with an adapter .

[@bigdog7914]

Okay, Jonny, I bought the hose but it won't run the stove, but the small bottle will, any ideas?

[@JonnyDIY]

I have heard certain hoses won't run certain stoves, but which one seems like a crapshoot. I'd return and try another brands hose. I believe it's the fitting on the end not engaging properly where it hooks up to the stove

We need a video how to disconnect line

[@JonnyDIY]

Reverse process, just unscrew 👍

[@iloks9177]

Its not the same i just found out by the manufactures that i have to purge the line before disconnecting i have a coleman gladiator 2burner stove

[@JonnyDIY]

@@iloks9177 well yes the tank valve should always be closed after using stove, then when disconnecting there may be some residual gas in line if you didn't let stove burn it by turning off gas supply and letting it burn til starved. Just slowly disconnect line and it'll hiss out 👍

My regulator stars leaking after 2-3 times of usage. I had switched from 1lb to 20lb with hose and then again to 1lb...now regulator leaks😏

That's strange it shouldn't matter. The pressure should be around the same between 2 tank sizes.

The camp stove has a regulator so no need for another one 👍

Always turn tank off first and let it burn all the gas in the line out.
